Summary
Ashok Modi is a Senior Engineer based in Los Angeles with 13 years of experience building high-traffic web systems, tuning server architecture, and creating sustainable, flexible application designs. He blends hands-on backend expertise—PHP, Drupal, Python, Scala and Objective-C for iPhone game work—with strong site reliability practices from roles at Braze, ReSci, and CARD.com. As a long-time consultant he has launched web applications end-to-end: architecting services, implementing CI, auditing performance, and automating infrastructure. Recent roles show a shift toward platform and SRE responsibilities while retaining deep application-level skills, enabling him to bridge developer productivity and production reliability. He is comfortable in both startup and enterprise environments and brings a pragmatic, glue-code mindset that makes disparate systems work together. Educated in software engineering and mathematics at the University of Toronto, he quietly favors measurable performance gains and pragmatic architecture over flashy rewrites.
